Microsoft has released a new video for The Ascent in which we go in-depth with the Neon Giant team on their new ARPG game. Neon Giant co-founders Arcade Berg, and Tor Frick, along with Alexander Litvinov Fominski (Lead World Designer) breakdown the game’s world design, combat, player interactions, and more.
The Ascent is a solo and co-op action-shooter RPG set in a sci-fi cyberpunk world. In this shooter, players can aim low or high, switch weapons and equip lethal gadgets. Players can also take cover and use the destructible environments at their advantage and keep adjusting their tactic as they face new enemies.
As we’ve already reported, The Ascent will also support Ray Tracing and DLSS on PC. Neon Giant will be using Ray Tracing in order to enhance the game’s reflections and shadows.
The Ascent will release on July 29th.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Looks real nice!
4K 60fps with raytracing on console – even better on fast modern PC. RX 6900 XT should run this game at 100 fps at native 4K with raytracing
Not gonna lie this looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it, been playing Inquisitor Martyr a lot lately
Game is on Game Pass on both PC and Xbox. Everyone on PC and Xbox should try this game to support that small team of developers. MS will pay them for each download
Let’s hope this doesn’t suck because it looks very well thought out. My only worry is the lack of any sort of info on any skill system or levelling up. But we have a few days until we find out for sure when it releases.
More Cyberpunk then Cyberpunk 2077….nice!
